Lear - Nonsense |

And he saw that youth,
Of age and looks to be his own dear son,
Piteous and lovely, lying on the sand, 630
Like some rich hyacinth, which by the scythe
Of an
unskilful
gardener has been cut,
Mowing the garden grass-plots near its bed,
And lies, a fragrant tower of purple bloom,
On the mown, dying grass;--so Sohrab lay, 635
Lovely in death, upon the common sand.

This same dialectic of positing the presuppositions plays a crucial role in our understanding of history:
[J]ust as we always posit the anteriority of a nameless ob- ject along with the name or idea we have just articulated, so also in the matter of histor- ical temporality we always posit the preexistence of a
formless
object which is the raw material of our emer- gent social or historical ar- ticulation.

We must inquire, therefore, what motives they appear to have
for declaring against our adversary: nor is it sufficient to know
that they were his enemies,- we must ascertain whether they
have ceased to be so; whether they may not seek reconciliation
with him at our expense; whether they have been bribed; or
whether they may not have changed their purpose from peniten-
tial feelings, precautions not only
necessary
in regard to wit-
nesses who know that which they intend to say is true, but far
more necessary in respect to those who promise to say what is
false.
